A quaint book with a lot of content. It is outdated but an interesting timepiece for how tech like CDs were viewed as the future of media. I did not like the way the book was worded, it contained many grammatical and spelling mistakes, especially towards the end. I began to distrust the book when it neglected to mention key contributors to 3 separate inventions that I was already very familiar with prior to reading this book.
